The stampsAare placed in a suitable frame in two rows and alternate toeach other, having the arms B for receiving the action of thelifting-levers G. The front rowof stamps has the arms sufficiently longto extend through between the stamps in the rear row and reach thelevers. The levers are all placed on one shaft, D, which is secured tothe posts in the frame of the machine. In the place of the front stampshaving the longer arms, as set forth, the levers may be alternatelylonger, to exthe purpose of raising all the stamps together up out ofthe box and out of the way while the box is being cleaned out andrefilled.
